Are landing gears in kit strong to take that weight? Its quite big mass of plastic. Do you recommend steel ones or these in kit are good enough?

James C
Hi Marek, I built this kit out of the box and found the plastic landing gear to be good enough to handle the weight. After several years now it's still sitting ok with no sign of warpage etc. You may want to consider replacing the cockpit interior and pay close attention to the electronics bay doors as I couldn't get the ES-3A Shadow parts to fit correctly and used the S-3 Viking covers instead. If building the S-3 Viking you shouldn't have any issues, but the ES-3A Shadow parts are all just plain bad and poorly molded (Electronics bay doors, and module on the upper fuselage spine etc)

Thanks for advices James! Now I build the SH-3, but next I would like to build this bird with folded wings and tail by paragon design.
